How to Make a Kydex Knife Sheath


First you need to mark out how much kydex you need

You then need to cut the kydex, I cut it with a hacksaw

You then need to drill holes for the rivets or eyelets

You then need to insert the eyelets or rivets( whichever one you are useing)

Then you need to take a heat gun or hair dryer and heat the kydex and when it starts to get floppy you insert the knife

You then put it in a jig. The jig is pretty self explanatory.



You then shape it with a bench grinder and you can cut off the big pieces with a hacksaw, you can then add a bevel with a belt sander.

This is a neck knife so I added an eyelet for the string

And now your sheath is done! Feel free to comment.
